Most important projects already decided and funded for the near future
MANUAL
This Manual contains explanations that detail for each of the questions of the Information
Gathering Templates the objective of the question and the information that it is intended to be
obtained through the question.
The questionnaire is designed to be applied in each country, so the questions refer all of them
specifically to the country where the survey is being done. The only exception is for section 8 which
corresponds to questions to regional institutions, therefore, the scope for some questions may in this
case be regional.
1.3. MAIN
(OIL,
GAS, POWER)
AND OWNERSHIP
Indicate in each sub sector which are the main companies that intervene and their ownership
(basically state owned or privately owned). If the companies are owned partly by the State and partly
by private sector indicate who owns the majority, who is responsible for management, if State does
not own the majority indicate if there are special decisions that require the State approval.
2.2. WHICH
(WITH
NEIGHBOURING
Rural electrification
Tariff level
Regulatory authority
It is intended to know all those institutions that in one way or another may participate in activities or
in the decision making process regarding the power sector.
Which are the main problems that the process has had?
Which are the expected advances for next year?
Age of the plant (year it was commissioned and years of main modifications / refurbishments)
If in the country there are more than one interconnected system indicate in which system
the power plant is.
Rehabilitation programs indicating capacity that it is expected to be added to the current one
and year of commissioning.
TYPE OF CLIENT
(RESIDENTIAL,
INDUSTRIAL,
Establish the disaggregation per type of clients that it is done in the country and define each of the
categories.
Specify for the last 5 years (annually) the energy consumed by each of the different types of clients
established above.
Indicate if there are special clients that for their size are treated differently such a mining
companies or others.
Capacity of the interconnection. Limits of this capacity (actual transfer capacity) because of
transmission system restrictions.
Energy (GWh) imported / exported through the interconnection in the last 5 years.
4. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
4.1. ROLE OF THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY
Require the text of the law that creates the regulatory authority and any other law / decree / by law
that establishes functions, activities, responsibilities, composition, etc.

document which establishes functions, activities, responsibilities, composition, etc.
If it is not possible have in written the information ask for:
Functions
Activities
Responsibilities
If there are transmission lines dedicated to serve the power plant. If affirmative how these
lines are treated, who operates them, have these lines spare capacity or is all capacity used
by the project.
If there are any opportunity exchanges of power; this means, if there exists spot trading of
energy, or trading of energy decided in the short term by the system operators because the
short term prices of the system make this trading convenient for both countries. If affirmative
indicate the principles and or procedures on which the trading is based.
5.4. SETTLEMENT
For each of the cases established in the previous point, establish the pricing principles, actual prices
and settlement procedure.
6. OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
This section corresponds to a series of standard indicators regarding operational information. Each
indicator is clearly defined by its formula.
Active Participant: Providing input to the dialogue, idea development, but not a key decision
maker
Passive Participant: Following the process to the extent possible, eventual beneficiary but not
involved in the development of the system
Irrelevant
OF AND INVOLVEMENT IN
NBI
AND
REGIONAL
To what extent and how has [the entity] been involved in the NBI up to now? How well understood
are the goals of the current initiative Regional Power Trade? Has [this entity] been involved in this
current initiative? How?
10
Other
11
Is training provided by local, regional or international experts? Are they funded by [the entity] or by
external funds? Is it provided in the country or same city, or must staff travel to attend training?
Have staff participated in regional training, capacity building or exchange opportunities? If so, which
ones? How are participants for these activities selected? Are they usually senior/executive staff, midlevel managers, or operational personnel?
Is there a process for knowledge transfer to younger staff from older, more experienced staff?
Apprenticeships or through on-the-job exchange between the two levels? Is [the entity] facing a
situation of losing experienced employees (i.e. through retirement) in the next 2-5 years, without
qualified personnel to replace them? Is there currently adequate duplication among staff
responsibilities so that loss of one employee (short or long term) does not mean that a key task will
be left without a capable/experienced employee to cover it?
What are the Human Resource statistics for key departments responsible for power system operations
and commercial transactions (financial & accounting departments, metering department, trading
units, etc.)
Number of employees
Average age of employees
Number of Management Level and Operational Level employees
Number of employees with university-level degrees (Bachelor level)
Number of employees with post-graduate degrees (Masters or higher)
Number of Management employees with post-graduate degree

pools?
